California Ghosts
Echoes of Lost Dreams: California Ghosts Unveiled
Lyrics
This country is on a tilt towards California
This country is leaning or inclined toward California.
Those without roots eventually slide on there
People without deep connections eventually move or gravitate towards California.
Some turn to stars most turn to
Some individuals pursue stardom, while most end up as ashes, all sharing a common fate.
Ashes they all turn the same
Regardless of their paths, everyone ultimately faces the same outcome.
I knew a woman she turned into a ghost
The speaker knew a woman who transformed into a ghost.
She floats through parties all
She moves through social gatherings along the west coast.
Along the west coast
Her haunting presence extends to a mansion in Beverly Hills, where she dreams of rain.
She haunts a mansion up on
California is depicted as a place filled with ghosts.
Beverly Hills dreams of rain
The woman longs for rain, a rare occurrence in California.
California ghosts california ghosts
Repetition of the idea that California is haunted by ghosts.
Oo oo ah ah ah ah oo oo ah ah ah ah
Repeating the haunting imagery through vocal sounds.
Oo oo ah ah ah ah oo oo ah ah ah ah
-Sometime when I get me an itching for fame
The speaker contemplates moving to LA when desiring fame.
I think maybe that I should move to LA
The speaker acknowledges the difficulty of succeeding in the fame game.
But who am I kidding I
Admission that the speaker would likely fail in the pursuit of fame.
Would fail at that game i'd get crushed
Fear of being overwhelmed or defeated in the pursuit of fame.
And I new a woman she turned into a ghost
Reiteration of a woman turning into a ghost due to societal judgments.
They told here that she wasn't pretty enough
She was told she wasn't pretty enough, contributing to her transformation.
She floats through highs the only thing
She experiences highs, with the rush being the only thing she loves.
She loves is the rush california ghosts
California is again associated with ghosts, emphasizing a haunting atmosphere.
California ghosts california ghosts
Repetition emphasizing the prevalence of ghosts in California.
California ghosts oo oo ah ah ah ah
Continued repetition of haunting vocal sounds.
Oo oo ah ah ah ah oo oo ah ah ah ah
-Oo oo ah ah ah ah oo oo ah ah ah ah
-Oo oo ah ah ah ah oo oo ah ah ah ah
-Oo oo ah ah ah ah
Repetition of haunting vocal sounds, closing the lyrics.
